Mariah “Karaoke” Carey, reeling from the failure of her current Eminem diss single “Obsessed” which was the lead off to her forthcoming album due in September, is going to enrage classic rock fans everywhere, by remaking the 1980’s Foreigner tune “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” I was listening to that song just the other day.

That tune is a classic, but watch Carey butcher and ruin it, with her now decimated, irritating voice, much like she did in the terrible remake of the Phil Collins mega-hit “Against All Odds.”

It’s a sad day when a man with less octaves than you allegedly have, sings his song a million times better than you.

It will serve as further proof Carey is not creative and relies on taking other people’s music or making sub par remakes of songs that were already huge hits, in bids at stopping her career from dying.

Side Bar: the tracks “Angels Cry” and “It’s A Wrap” are not Carey’s, though they’ve illegally ended up on her forthcoming CD. God doesn’t like ugly, Mariah and will not bless you for it.

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey bets on nostalgia, covering Foreigner

August 18, 2009 | 12:40 pm - Perhaps realizing that the focus should be less on Mariah Carey's feud with Eminem and a bit more on the pop diva, more hints were dropped today about the singer's upcoming "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel." The ad-supported album, which was originally set for Aug. 25, is now due to be released Sept. 29.

The second single from Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will apparently be a cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" (perhaps tackling "Don't Stop Believing" would have been a too-obvious choice of pandering).

The news was first reported by Roger Friedman, and his article has since been posted on Carey's official website.

This isn't the first time Carey has covered an '80s ballad -- see her take on "I Still Believe" above. The latter gave Carey yet another top 10 hit, a status that has thus far eluded her "Obsessed."...
